Great spot. WOAT very helpful. Location is great.

Breathtaking Botriver Estuary Home
Sue is a fantastic and very sweet host! She was always quick to respond. The house had a lovely holiday feel to it.

Island Breeze Guest Cottage
The accommodation was nice and cozy. Everything was spotless and neat. Rosemarie was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and beautiful scenery.

Tranquil Waterfront Hideaway with Stunning Views
This holiday house exceeded our expectations! The views were stunning, the kitchen was well-equipped. The house was lovely and well-maintained. We had a truly relaxing and enjoyable holiday. We especially loved the outdoor space and not forgetting the amazing view of the lake and mountain. The host was also very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!" Thank you Jess and Ange

Lady Serenity - unwind in wood-fired hot tub
We had a fantastic family stay at Carol's beautiful beach home. It was spotless. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and we felt at ease and relaxed from the minute we walked in. Nice courtyard at the back to entertain and keep out of the wind on some of the days. Otherwise, a lovely braai spot in from of the house on the verande with ocean views. Morning coffee on the veranda every day, with a view of the ocean, was a treat. Just a short walk down the path to the harbour with restaurants and little shops as well as soft serve ice cream. A brisk 2km walk down to the main beach all along the coastline making. Carol was super friendly, and her home is truly a gem.

Mountain View Villa
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the house. It is beautiful and had everything we needed. The accommodation was very well-suited for kids, featuring a lovely bedroom and plenty of toys. The location is fantastic, making it a great base to explore many attractions within an hour's drive. The host was fantastic and incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this house to everyone.

The Vineyard Cottage @ Akkerdraai
I booked this house for guests and this is what they had to say: "The perfect ending to our trip! The house was very spacious with a breathtaking view and a beautiful garden. We really enjoyed every moment there."

'Ndlovu' 32 Onverwacht Wine Estate
We had a great stay! Great house with everything you need in a lovely and safe neighborhood! We enjoyed sunsets at the lake 2 mins walking, the pool and terrace, amazing vinyards in Wellington…and much more. Elena was very friendly, always available. We felt at home!

'Merlot' - tranquil rustic ground floor apartment
This was my second time staying with Marlise. Like before, everything was great. Two things stand out above the rest. First, the setting is one of the most thoughtful and beautiful that you will ever find. I could spend a month just relaxing near the pond and the garden. Second, when traveling, it’s always nice to be greeted by a ln enthusiastic and friendly host. Marlise, David, and their team do everything they can to make you feel welcome and to let the stress of travel melt away as soon as you arrive. Bravo! I hope to return.

Luxury romantic apartment at the ocean 1h CapeTown
This was deep exhale from the rush of everyday life. We spent slow mornings listening to the ocean and quiet evenings watching the sun set over False Bay. It is a rare kind of place that leaves you softer, quieter, and more connected to yourself. Thank you Eva and Marina, you will see us soon again. ✨❤️

SS Luxury Apartments Island Club
We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed the evening

Sea Chi: Wake Up to Wave-Scented Air & Ocean Views
Lovely house with a beautiful sea view and fresh air. The artistic decor and paintings made it unique. Everything was clean and well-prepared. Just note there's no elevator, so carrying heavy bags can be challenging, and the open balcony may not suit hijabi women. Overall, a great stay - thank you for hosting me.

Sunset Links Golf Estate, Apartment#2 on 10th hole
Janine's place is stunning. All you could ask for with a nice clean room, lovely kitchenette and stunning bathroom / shower. Location is world class with a few over the golf course! Close to lovely restaurants and the sea! Thanks Janine for a world class experience.

Waterfront, canals, CTICC: gorgeous 2-bedrm apart
A Wonderful Stay That Felt Like Home Most often when you book via Airbnb, the actual place can differ from what’s shown in the pictures. That wasn’t the case here. I came with my family, and we instantly felt at home—the kids absolutely loved it! The view from the apartment is stunning. You can clearly see Table Mountain, the port side, the canal, and the overall beautiful surroundings. If we get a chance to come back, we will definitely book this apartment again. Thank you for hosting us and making our stay so memorable!

Apartment on Windon vineyard,Stellenbosch
I spent a week at Julie and Ian’s for some R&R after working in Cape Town for a few weeks before heading back to the UK. Window is exquisite. Great amenities, well appointed with top class fixtures and fittings (le creuset everything 👍🏼). It’s a haven’t of peace within easy reach of everything within the winelands. Bed is incredibly comfy and wonderful views from the balcony. Nothing is too much trouble for Ian or Julie. So welcoming and helpful and it was absolutely a home from home. Urge anyone who stays to take advantage of the walks around the estate, take in the zebra, wildebeest and springbok in the game reserve and taking a dip and sunbathe at their private dam and decking. Thanks so much Ian and Julie, I had a great week and hope to be back again.

Spectacular 2 bedroom apartment in Simon's Town.
The difference between owning a second home and renting it out without any idea of what it means to truly host people, and doing it as a profession, is clear. I’ve read that Malinda has 30 years of experience in hospitality, and you can see it in the attention to detail. The apartment is spotless, well-maintained, and located in a quiet and safe area. If you have any doubts, this review is here to dispel them all—go for it! It’s a pity we stayed only one night! We hope to return!

Vineyard Family Cottage at San Gabriel Homestead
Beautiful place with a very warm welcome!

Rondeberg Farms
It was stunning! Will definitely be back🙏🏼❤️

La Vue River Cottage – A Country Retreat
Very good and central location, beautiful property with a great view of the surrounding mountains, cozy accommodation and helpful hosts. Definitely recommend.

Gull's Nest
Gull's nest is a lovely spot. Bass lake is an amazing place for a swim with lovely views and an expanse of open water. Unexpected and a definite favorite from our visit.

Waters Edge Apartment with Pool
Amazing place and even better host. The pictures don’t even do it justice, waking up to a panoramic view of the water way and mountains will be hard to beat. Mark went out of his way to make sure we were looked after, always responsive, always accommodating. Absolute pleasure, my new favourite place to stay in Cape Town.

Amperbo Glamping
A Perfect Getaway in Stellenbosch We had the most wonderful stay at Mariska’s place in Stellenbosch. From start to finish, it was a truly peaceful and perfect experience. The setting is absolutely magical — waking up to a breathtaking view of Table Mountain felt like a dream. Mariska was a warm and thoughtful host, and everything was just as described (if not better!). The space was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It felt like a slice of paradise tucked away in the winelands. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to unwind and soak up the beauty of the area. We’ll definitely be back!

Triplum Farm Stay
Franschhoek Farm Cottage was heaven on earth. Perfect place to chill and great location for visiting the wine estates around. The attention to details will make you feel right at home. The view point it’s must to visit! I will definitely recommend. Thanks again for everything.
